"Aelita...Here we are.." Jeremie told her with a smile. He pointed at a large, and fancy, Italian resteraunt. Jeremie had saved up money ever since Aelita asked him out, he had enough money to pay for the resteraunt. He looked down now with a bit of embarressment.

"It is beautiful, Jeremie! "Aelita exclaimed. They each had been in their nornal clothes, neither one bothering with wearing very fancy clothes. At least that was what Yumi told her. She looked to Jeremie, puzzled now. She had seen him embarressed before, but never like this. "Jeremie, whats wrong?"

"Nothing," Jeremie replied as he took her hand softly, leading her to the resteraunt. When inside they got their table quickly.

"T..That was fast," Aelita commented as she placed the napkin on her lap. 'She can be so sophisticated sometimes,' Thought Jeremie. He then shook his head clear before saying.

"After you called, Ulrich suggested this place. Well...I had reserved a table for us right after he suggested it," Jeremie explained. He had wanted everything to be perfect, but it seemed that every time he looked to her, he got tongue-tied. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a box and handed it to her.

"What's this?" Aelita asked as she took the box. She looked to him, very confused from the custom.

"Open it and find out..." Jeremie replied nevously, he fidgeted some and looked to her, hoping she would love the gift. An audable gasp was heard as the box was opened. Inside was a gold and silver locket, with gold necklace attached to it. He smiled some as she opened the locket. Inside was a peice of paper and a picture of everybody, the peice of paper said. 'My heart is yours'.

"OH JEREMIE!" Aelita called out, she had obviously loved the gift. she blushed a deep red when people began to stare and whispered out some meekly, "Thank you,"

"I..It's true, my heart is yours Aelita, and it always will be..." Jeremie told her before the waiter came. They began ordering their food and eat at a nice dinner.

"So where are we going?" Krista asked Odd as they walked down the sidewalk into the downtown area.

"Well, I really don't know, I am just walking," Odd replied as he wrapped an arm around her softly. She looked up and smiled some, the street lamps shining on her silver hair. The breathe caught in his chest as he looked down at her, she was beautiful, she was everything to this young man. He stopped for a second and asked her, "Where do you want to go?"

"I don't know, anywhere with you, I guess," Krista responded, ignoring the groan of Odd's by laughing happily. She kissed his cheek and looked at an Italian seteraunt before gasping once.

"Whats up?" Odd asked her, he looked to the Italian resteraunt, not seeing what she saw.

"It's Jeremie and Aelita. They were kissing a moment ago, Aelita looked so happy.." She said almost enviously. Odd picked up the small envious tone and looked into her eyes before picking her up, kissing her deeply and passonatly.

"As I said before, your beautiful when you pout or are angry," Odd told her with a grin. She laughed once and stuck her tongue out at him, which he promptly licked.

"God, I love you so much," Krista told him before pointing to a diner across the street, "Lets get some food, my treat?"

"Sure,"

"Ulrich... What are we going to do after Aelita is fully restored?" Yumi asked as they walked in the park. She her hand gripped Ulrich's as they walked.

"I don't know, turn off the super computer? Then finish school I guess..." Ulrich replied to her, only half paying attention to where he was walking, most of the time he was looking to the girl he loved. She smiled softly at him before shivering a bit. Without even thinking, Ulrich pulled his coat off and placed it over her shoulders, the cold not affecting him.

"I guess, but I mean what will we do after school is over?"

"I..I havn't thought of that, between training Jeremie, and being captivated by your beauty," He said with a smirk, even though he meant it with every word.

" I just don't know either, I just know I want to be with you all, I have had the best time of my life with you guys, the most was with you," She told him, tears beginning to form in her eyes. Ulrich kissed her softly and looked at her.

"I won't leave you, you know that, right?"

"Right... We should be getting back, it is getting late and cold,"

"This will warm you up," Ulrich kissed her again before they began to head back to the school.

Shinrai was walking back to his room, grumbling some as he held the laptop. Everyone had went on a date, leaving Shinrai alone. He sighed as he unlocked the door and stepped in, he fell onto his bed, not even bothering to shut the door. He turned on the laptop and began to run the scan, having ran one every hour. His eyes began to close some and before he even knew it, he was asleep.

"I can't believe you sleep so heavily, fine," Soft lips brought him awake quickly as he saw a yellow headband. When he found Sissi was the one kissing him, he began to put a kiss her back, his arms wrapping around her softly. They broke the kiss after a few moments and Shinrai smiled happily to her.

"Your back..."

"Well my parents thought I would be safer at the school with the boy who killed someone for me," She shuddered as she said it. 'Don't let the blood of what happened ever get between us,' Shinrai thought. He held her close and smiled to her happily, her face brightening his evening considerably. She smiled and looked at looked at him before staying in his arms comfortably.

"I missed you," He whispered in her ear as he held onto her, never wanting to let her go...

So now a routine began to form in their lives. Ranging from going to classes, to fighting XANA, which Shinrai found turned to be very difficult at times. More than once, shinrai had been devirtualized abruptl and had been sent to help Odd or Ulrich fight against the people possessed by XANA. This continued for most of the year, until one day, they were reminded of the final test that would allow them to skip the grade level.

Although the tests had a higher effect on the seven Lyoko fighters, and Sissi. Ulrich, Aelita, Jeremie, Odd, Krista, and Sissi were now studying like mad on the tests. Yumi and Shinrai had watched in small amounts of amusement. Odd on the other hand, was the one who was most intent on studying, snapping at everyone but Krista.

"Because I am the least able to pass this test!" He snapped in reply to a question Jeremie asked. Even though he studied every day, he managed to steal time to be with Krista, who thankfully calmed down. Even the teachers were surprised of Odd's sudden studying, even when he did something wrong in their classes. Mrs Hertz was the one who made the unfortunate mistake to comment to Odd when she saw him half asleep. Which only earned him 1 detention, mainly for him to get some sleep.

Odd was walking back to his dorm room but as he did, hear heard rustling in his room. He thought about bursting through the door, but a thought of what he would find made him decide against it. He knocked on the door, "Ulrich I am coming in," He called out loudly as he unlocked the door, more rustling was heard before it was silence. He opened the door and saw Yumi and Ulrich sitting on the bed, fully clothed, but seriously embarressed.

"There we go I needed to study, and in here is the only place I could," Odd explained.

"You just want to sleep," Ulrich accused playfully.

"That to," Odd replied, as he laughed out and grabbed his English and Science book. Yumi and odd helped him study until Odd fell asleep, which didn't take long. A soft knock on the door had pulled Ulrich out of his trance of looking at Yumi. He shook his head some to clear it 'Damn Yumi for being so beautiful,' Ulrich throught as he opened the door. Krista stood in the doorway.

"I'll watch him, he needs sleep, he hasn't slept for about three days in a row," SHe said as she moved and sat on Odd's bed. Yumi and Ulrich nodded before heading off to their next class. Jim decided to bend the rules some, marking Odd present for P.E while he was asleep.

"He has worn himself out by studying," Jim asked as Yumi and Ulrich ran beside him.

"Yeah, he is freaking out about it," Yumi said with a small giggle.

"Well he has already passed my exam, I tested him yesterday on it, at his request," Jim replied.

The studying had happened for a week until it was the day before testing day. Odd had spent all morning and all afternoon studying, even missing out on meals.

"ODD! Calm down, you have studied three times more than any of us, you will pass your other tests," Jeremie exclaimed as Odd asked him to go over even more problems.

"You'll be fine," Yumi said as she yawned some and stood up. She checked her watch and kissed Ulrich on the cheek before calling otu as she was leaving, " I got to get some sleep. Ulrich, you need sleep to, so no sneaking over to my house," That comment had gotten a giggle from Aelita. Jeremie hugged Aelita before groaning and smacking Shinrai in the back of the head.

"Quit sucking Sissi's face off, you both need sleep as well," Jeremie told them. He saw Krista's curled up, sleeping form, and laughed some, "She has the right idea,"

Odd picked Krista up softly, not waking her as he followed Aelita and Jeremie to Aelita's dorm room. The four softly filed into the room as Odd set Krista down on her bed softly. He looked to Aelita and Jeremie, and mocked tipping a hat, "Good day," Was all he said before he left.

Aelita and Jeremie sighed some, neither one of them having to study very hard for the test. Jeremie's 99.89 in school and Aelita's prompt 100 grades meant they had the test in the bag. Jeremie took Aelita's hand softly as they began to walk out of the dormatory to the factory.

"Aelita?" Jeremie asked softly.

"Yes Jeremie?" Aelita replied as Jeremie's hand touched hers. Every time he touched her, she felt content, after all, he was the one she looked for to find Lyoko.

"I am going to find the cure... When I do, I am going to ask you to marry me," He declaired as they stood by the elevator.

"You...Will?" Aelita stuttered, tears beginning to fill her eyes.

"Aelita, whats wrong?" Jeremie wrapped his arms around her as he looked into her soft, loving eyes.

"I just...I love you so much Jeremie," She kissed Jeremie as she held onto him softly, her head on his shoulders. They stood there in silence, just holding onto each other by the elevator. After and hour of just standing with each other, Jeremie escorted Aelita back to her dormatory room. Before Aelita went into her room, their lips met again as they kissed with passion. She went into her room for a second and then came out blushing a depp red.

"Jeremie, Odd is asleep next to Krista. They wern't doing anything, they were just snuggling next to each other," She said with a small giggle. The site was very cute, "We can go to your room and talk how we used to when I was on Lyoko,"

Jeremie looked startled, but then nodded, "Shinrai is most likely with Sissi. They sneak off almost every night and talk,"

"Really?" They slowly walked to Jeremie's dorm room. When they reached the door, they heard heavy footsteps.As Aelita gasped, Jeremie had the door opened and pulled her in softly before closing the door silently behind him. Shinrai was no where to be seen in the room, meaning he was with Sissi again, or training outside, which was unlikely.

"That was close! my heart is racing!" Aelita exclaimed, giggling some from the excitement. She sat on Jeremie's bed, blushing some.

"That was fun," Jeremie said with a chuckle as he sat down by Aelita.

"Remember when I tried to contact you from Lyoko and found you changing?" Aelita questioned. The images were still very fresh in her mind, she could remember everything so vividly.

"Yes, I remember it, I had been very embarressed. I asked you not to tell Ulrich, Odd, and even Yumi," Jeremie replied softly, his face becoming red.

"I can still remember that clearly,"

"You remember it all?"

"Yes," She said simply. She yawned slightly and then hugged Jeremie before laying on the bed," Good night Jeremie, I love you," She whispered out, her eyes closing.

He smiled a bit and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Good night...my princess," He whispered gently, the determination to get her on earth permernantly was now rekindled. He grabbed The case holding the diary and began to look through them.
